New headquarters of the Territorial Production Department (DTP) of Bologna
(Feasibility Study)
Bologna, EMILIA-ROMAGNA (ITALY)
The project has been developed with a dual purpose: connect the DTP headquarters and central railway station in Bologna, 900 meters away, to ensure a perfect synergy between operating areas and implementing a functional and distributive reorganization that bear in mind the need to aggregate the different sectors, currently fragmented into three different buildings, into a unitary place.
The new building is configured as a complex structure that winds through the area almost suspended from the ground. In its sinuous articulation it creates various suggestive areas and spaces that also invest in land-based spaces and the overall quality of the whole area. The overall development of the project start from the point of view of materials and finishes to find the right relationship with existing buildings.

Spaces, functions, connections
Functionally, four independent vertical distribution block (A; B; C; D) have been planned, located along the building development at almost constant floor clearance. The vertical distribution centers allow the connection from the basement to the third floor and hosting independent entrances to the different sectors, the technical rooms and the accessory spaces at ground floor.
The differents departments have been located from the first floor up to the third going to seek / establish the most appropriate synergies , giving extreme value to the centrality of the Director office and his staff, positioning it in order to being able to reach the control room in a very short time with a special connection, and providing the structure with spaces for interdisciplinary exchange between the various departments, possibility of future expansion of the structure, ability to meet extraordinary events thanks to the presence of a conference room.
